Humira and Colonoscopy

[chloescott]

Hi, I'm new here and due to have my colonoscopy prep the day I have my Humira shot - is this okay?

Might be a daft question but I've only been diagnosed since Jan '13 and this will be my 3rd shot of Humira (don't know if it's working yet or not, still got my damn stomach pain :ymad

Thanks!!

It's odd that they scheduled it the same day. I don't think there would be an issue though. It will just be an extra crappy feeling day between injection and prep side effects.

I don't think it would be any problem, but if it worries you, take it the next day. I don't think they pay a lot of attention to what's going on like that when they schedule procedures. I had a colonoscopy scheduled the day after election day. I was standing in line with diapers on, just so I could vote. I'll be paying attention from now on.

Spoke to my GI and I'm just going to take my Humira a day earlier so I don't have to extra worry on 'prep day' haha

Can't blame you. Prep is enough for one day. Or two.
